Here’s one I wrote earlierThanks! I’m looking forward to the recap
i truly can’t believe scamp and dude is still going. the designs were ugly AF then and they’re ugly AF now.
Caught on DLAM’s stories - MP scrolling on her phone during the dinner speech. Why isn’t everyone looking at meeeee and my content baby

Yes, the questionable life decisions he's made up until now don't really hint at partner material. And if it was ever still within reaching distance, he can be sure that's no longer the case. Love that for him.This thread is a riot. Finally got an account so can add my 2 cents on the size of Olly Orgasmatron’s (pay) package, as it’s a field I’m pretty familiar with…
He has 12 years PQE but has never had a title higher than senior associate (you get that around 3-4 years PQE) so he’s a solid middle-flyer, not partner material. Would have probably taken a salary cut when he left Latham in exchange for better hours. 180-250k pa probably, plus bonus. He might get carry but it’s unlikely to be huge pay out as he’s only a deputy GC in legal, and wouldn’t typically be paid until 10 years in the role.
Unless he has significant amounts of family money he’s a real HENRY (high earner not rich yet) and, I know it sounds terrible, but he doesn’t earn enough to support a genuinely fancy lifestyle when he’s got two families and five kids.
It’s hilarious watching Anna act like she’s bagged Mr Big when he’s just a bog standard corporate lawyer, but with extra baggage.

She therefore can't be a nanny and I think she's the lodger. There's no way on this earth his salary is covering a nanny, rent of a seemingly large central London house (plus bills), assuming 2 x children at private school, a Mercedes (seen in the car seat story), ex wife and kids maintenance and some. I think she's lodging to fund said life and they maybe cut her rent for babysitting hoursThis thread is a riot.

I assume his parents pay for schooling. In a lot of cases that’s what’s happeningAmazing recap and love the pay details, too. That really is not a lot for two families living the high spending (nannies, far flung hols, I’m guessing private schools…) life they do.
ETA cross post @Santa23 - I bet you’re right about the lodger, too.
Reckon the nanny with the fishy fanny is a sort of au pair Mother’s help type thing. Not being paid proper nanny rates, probably helps out with the kids in exchange for a room and internet exposure.
Definitely does not earn enough for 5 kids at private school. Probably doesn’t earn enough for his 3 kids at private school without family money (which I assume will not cover Anna and Matt’s kids whatever happens).

If I was Anna tbh I’d be terrified, this guy makes no sense. I can see her motivation for the wedding (content, securing the bag, getting a win over her ex)… but what is his?
I genuinely can’t see how a rational lawyer decides to marry a stranger he got pregnant on the first or second date. Who is married to someone else. The potential random financial exposures give me a headache. You’d think having been divorced before (which I’m guessing was expensive) he’d be more wary.
My strong feeling is that he’s the kind of guy who would lovebomb, let Anna get all carried away planning a wedding basically by herself and then tap out a few months before because he wasn’t feeling it. And his friends and family would all shrug and say yes he is a bit like that, we hoped it would work out but you did get pregnant without knowing each other really.
I feel like Anna is so naiive she thinks the proposal and content baby will bind them together. But if you look at the way he’s treated his existing kids (proposing to a woman they’ve never met) it’s so clear that he doesn’t take these bonds that seriously.
If she was my friend I’d be so worried for her. Luckily she’s not, she’s a twit, and she’ll get a few years worth of tit content out of it (“Rebuilding myself fragile maternal brick by brick after being shattered by a narcissist” “From the outside my life looked perfect but my rich partner who held me in the hole would become the hole in which I was dragged with a visceral force” “I tried so hard to be sexy to keep my partner interested after the birth of our baby… here’s why I was breaking inside and I am starting a SEXY CAMPAIGN to tell other women that they shouldn’t have to do it”)
Don’t forget GLFS earns a substantial wage for all the adverts and her silly stage show etc. it’s not to be underestimated how much she is bringing in.She therefore can't be a nanny and I think she's the lodger.
